We can contact your employer and track down which superannuation fund they paid into.

?Do I need to get my documents certified?

Yes. Some of the funds in Australia need copies of your documents to be certified for you to claim your refund. We’ll advise you on the requirements of your specific fund.

My agent, Romulo Albares, was very patient and professional throughout the whole process. I'm not a tax expert and I had already come back to Brazil after living in the US for a year, so getting straight with the IRS was a big concern of mine. On top of getting straight with the IRS, so I don't have problems with the US Government, I got a good tax return money, which is very nice.
